The timeline can vary, but we generally see two key phases in the sales process. First, accepting an offer: With our proactive marketing strategies and skilled pricing, many of our listings go into contract within 2-4 weeks of hitting the market.
However, some situations may require a more aggressive approach to facilitate a quicker sale, if needed.
Once an offer is accepted, the second phase is the 2-3 month period it typically takes for the buyer's mortgage approval, title searches, inspections and other closing requirements. During this time, our team expertly handles any potential hiccups to keep the transaction moving forward smoothly.
Additionally, we understand some clients may need to align the closing timeline with school calendars, job relocations or other events. In those cases, we can negotiate an amenable closing period as part of the offer terms. Our flexibility allows us to secure a great offer now with a delayed closing to meet your needs.
No matter your desired timing, we provide detailed market analysis, frequent updates and skilled negotiation every step of the way. Our goal is facilitating an efficient, optimal sale, whether that means expediting the process or extending it based on your unique situation.
You can count on us to deliver a smooth, timely transaction.
